Family Van den Boogaard

Farm "De Staay" is in the hands of the Van den Boogaard family at the end of the 19th century. After initially being leased and later acquired through purchase, this farm is currently run by the 4th generation family."

The dates of the purchase of the farm and the ferry are confirmed on the webpage of the history of the ferry

"In 1893 the Van den Boogaard family leased the farm "Staay" (located near the Maas). At the time, this farm was part of Landgoed Makken, which was owned by a baron from Brussels. The transfer of people across the Meuse was inextricably linked to the lease of this farm. This happened at the time with a ferry that initially without an engine, but crossed by means of the current of the river (vulture ferry). Six years later, in 1899, the Van den Boogaard family bought the farm and therefore also the ferry."
